I was gonna say pretty much what Mats already has. There was a discussion 
about these issues in the GDAlg list, with the subject "[Algorithms] 
select()+recv() vs. non-blocking sockets", so it's probably best not to 
repeat it here. Mats, check it out - apparently Warcraft 3 (among others) 
uses TCP instead of a reliable protocol over UDP, which surprised me.

PS: the search function in Sourceforge's mailing list archive interface does 
not seem to work - I can pack that thread into an Outlook Express folder and 
zip it to you if interested.
